A pretty clean-looking 1988 Diplomat I found
for sale online. This one is a higher trim level package, noted
because of the inverted headlight assembly mainly used on Fifth Avenues.
This can be identified as a Diplomat because of the cross-hair grille. |

A beautifully restored 1978 Diplomat Coupe,
the best I've ever seen. The contributor writes:
"Hi my name is Ed Hodowanic. I live in Rockton, IL
and this is a picture of my Dodge Diplomat that I inherited from my father
when he passed away. My father bought this car new and it has 50,000
original miles now. I completed a complete restoration on it 2 years
ago. It is only driven
occasionally and I enjoy entering it into car shows. So far I have
won 2nd place trophy in the M body class in Belvidere IL."
We like it!

A 1986 Diplomat I found for sale, advertised
as an endurance racing car. Of course it has the rock-solid
318 in it. Maybe the air quit working . . |

Here's some photos of a rare Diplomat T-top
Coupe. Until I heard from Bob Ewald, the former owner of this 1980
car, I had not known there was such a Diplomat style in existence.
As far as I know, these are the only photos of a Diplomat T-top available
on the web. Bob writes:
"This is a 1980 Diplomat which I purchased in 1981.
It was ordered through Blomberg Motors in Rochelle IL. by a friend of
mine. His wife decided it wasn't big enough for her so they traded
it for a Lincoln in 1981, when I saw it on the lot I just had to have it.
I paid a premium price of $6500 for it. It served me very well for
the next 15 years as I just couldn't seem to part with such a
rarity. It basically was a Salon Model, which had the Type S
on the back windows. It came with Gold interior with bucket seats,
air, cruise, AM/FM-8-Track Tape player, and the special chrome-plated
wheels with color matching center caps. It had the 318-2V engine
with the automatic trans. and sure-grip rear end. Later in its years
I put white letter tires on it but I don't have any pictures with this.
The build sheet said this T-Top conversion was done at Cars & Concepts
in Detroit for Chrysler Corp., as they also did this on the Mirada and
Magnums of this era. I did break a handle once and got it from the
local Dodge dealer. I went over to the guy's house last week end
hoping there might be a chance of buying it back, but he had an accident
with it last spring and it had been totaled out. I have seen (2)
other Type S's in the area, both were blue, but none with T-Tops. I
still would like to know if anyone out there knows of how many of these
were made. Thanks Again, Bob"
